Also along these lines: President Carter's son, Chip, is reported to be working for Dr. Dean.

Right on Anna! Let's hear the words and draw the battle lines a little more clearly.

By working with MOVEON.ORG (clearly a voting block most representative of Dean supporters) and mimicking Dean's backbone in his speeches, Gore seems to be saying the things he was afraid to say in 2000 minus 911 ramifications. What a shame he didn't have the backbone the last time around: I would have voted for him instead of Nader (a safe vote in VT).

Gore should show some courage now to help save the country from the turmoil we are in partly from his campaign's timidness the last time around. He should come out for Dean early and help us get Dean propped up next to Bush now to really force the debate about this country's direction instead of this incestous divisive crap about flags, McGovern and Gingrich. There's vindication to be had, Al.

"Business Week" is making far more out of this than is there.

There are far deeper splits in the GOP, substantive splits. There are Church Street Republicans, Wall Street Republicans, Main Street Republicans, even Easy Street Republicans. There are even some Yankee Republicans -- Snowe and Collins and Chaffee.

These people all got together, and still get together, in order to gain power.

Next to those splits, the personal differences between "Kennedy" and "Carter" Democrats are like nothing.

But it's in the interest of big business, "Business Week's" readers, to make this into a big "civil war." Because that comforts the comfortable and afflicts the afflicted.
